Want to learn how to dot journal? The concept behind a bullet journal is simple: it's your go-to place for your planner needs, to do list, and journal. But does it work? This author shares her method and so far, I've been loving the ideas I've learned!

How to Start a Dot Journal

I received a complimentary copy of the book, Dot Journaling: A Practical Guide to review. All comments and opinions are my own.

Are you a planner girl? A list writer? A journalista? I am all the above but when I saw the dot journal movement start up a few years ago, I kind of rolled my eyes. I felt like I wasn’t the type to start a dot journal. I mean, I LOVE to create and make things so you would think that creating layouts for my planner would be super fun.

But when I scrolled through the bullet journaling (also called dot journaling) images on Instagram and Pinterest, all I could conjure up was feelings of overwhelm. I have to use a ruler? These pages are PERFECT and GORGEOUS and wow, I don’t have time for that.

So I put it off.

Buying A Billion Planners When I Only Needed ONE

I kept on buying fancy planners a couple of times a year plus a regular journal. I also continued my bad habit of writing really important things on teeny tiny scraps of paper. When was my dentist appointment again? I know I wrote it on the corner of a pink piece of paper, so if I could find that . . .

But something happened last year. I was using a ginormous planner at the time that came with cute stickers and tabs but for some reason, was NOT working for me. I loved that planner, but it didn’t love me back. I needed a place to jot down information from a parent-teacher meeting. And a place to write my grocery list. And I didn’t want all of those budget sheets because I do that in Excel. Argh.

Here's a simple monthly days spread from Dot Journaling: A Practical Guide

I mentioned above that I would buy planners a couple of times a year because what usually would happen is I would get really excited about one brand and then halfway through the year, I would hit this frustrated place. And around that time, I would be at Target and a new planner would call out to me. I will solve all your problems! Look! I have lots of empty spaces for you to write in!

Starting a Dot Journal for the First Time

Anyway, there came a day when I decided to just go for it and try a dot journal. I had a blank composition book handy, and I figured if I absolutely hated it, I could just go back to my big planner. (Oh, the other problem about my aforementioned awesome planner was it was huge! Didn’t fit in any purse or bag. :()

I started bullet journaling and shared my experience here. It evolved back into a planner at the beginning of this year. That still wasn’t flexible enough for me so I was incredibly grateful when the publishers of Dot Journaling: A Practical Guide reached out to me. Talk about perfect timing!

When I first glanced through the book, I felt that feeling of perfectionism and overwhelm hit me again. Not gonna lie. Her layouts are so neat and wonderful. My dot journal was ashamed to sit next to this book. At first.

I love this book list idea from Dot Journaling: a Practical Guide

Then I began reading and was grateful as the author assured us that dot journaling is whatever you want it to be, that her layouts are guidelines and ideas. She even admitted that everything looked perfect in this book because it’s her job to make it look nice. Which makes sense.

I’ve been slowly incorporating her methods into my current bullet journal and have been really pleased. I like how she shares SO MANY different ideas of what you can do in a dot journal. And I appreciate how she has spreads that are very minimalist all the way to more detailed versions. If anything, looking through this book got me dreaming of what I want to do in my dot journal.

Um, yes. I need this debt tracker in my bullet journal. (Courtesy of Dot Journaling: A Practical Guide)

My hands-down favorite thing about dot journaling is how it is completely mine. I love that I have quotes on one page, notes from a webinar on the next, and my to-do list on the next page. It is a better representation of what is really going on in my life, that’s for sure. I also love that I can easily see how I’m progressing on different goals and how I’m incorporating my values into my life and business. All of these things are housed under the same cover (whereas they used to all be in separate places, usually never to be seen again! :/)

I still haven’t broken my habit of writing on tiny slips of paper, but now I washi tape them straight into my dot journal (if I still need them.) It adds some color and I can find the note again.

I appreciate how the author carefully explains all the ins and outs of dot journaling so you can literally get a blank book and start immediately. That’s my kind of book.

You can pick up your copy of Dot Journaling: A Practical Guide on Amazon or in any bookstore.

    Jennie, I feel the same way! I have tried so many different planners, always trying to make it fit into my life, and always without success. I end up writing my dates, plans, lists and recipes all over the place and I’m still not organized! The dot journaling method sounds like it would work. If it works for you, I am willing to give it a go!

    I just got into bullet journaling — so far, I love it! I bought a bunch of books on how to draw cute things, like kawaii. I used to draw as a kid, but got out of the habit so now I stink at it haha. But, I’m getting much better! Thanks for a nice review. 🙂 I’m going to check the book out of the library if they have it.

    I always wanted to try bullet journaling too, but I put it off because I have this weird fear with notebooks that if I screw up a page, I can’t just rip it out without runing the notebook! So lately I’ve been trying a bullet journal method of sorts, but in a small planner binder with lined pages – now I can rip pages out or move like pages together. We’ll see how it goes! 🙂

    I had the same problem with normal planners. I would only use parts of them. When I would think about it. 80% would go unused. I have been trying bullet journaling for the past couple of years and parts of that are working but not all of it.

    I related to so many things you wrote in this post! I have a journal and multiple planners as I am constantly in search of the “perfect” one, yet also have a separate daily “to do” list tossed on our kitchen counter as well as scraps of paper with tons of little notes or appointments that somehow occasionally get lost. Dot journaling seems like it just might be the answer for me, yet I have been overwhelmed by the ones I saw on Pinterest. Perhaps this book will help me finally find a system that I will stick with and will then work for me….no more notes on scraps of paper…..hooray! Thanks for offering this contest for all of us perfectionista planner and journal writer wannabes.

    I’ve been kind of doing this for a year but had no idea it actually had a name. I started with a binder but downgraded to a simple spiral-bound notebook. It’s not at all cute or fancy, so maybe I’ll work on getting creative with it. This would be a good place to start! 🙂

    Wow, sounds interesting, you’ve got my attention! I have not tried a planner, too expensive for me and can’t get past the perfectionism. I have tried a bullet journal, but again allowed perfection to get the best of me and dropped it. All I use now is a calendar by the home phone, but don’t take it with me to places, so I tend to forget my plans. I like the idea of having something portable, besides my smartphone ? which I hardly use for planning. Being a creative person having something personal and tangible is the way to go. Thank you for sharing your thoughts ?

    I have the Happy Planner now and while I love it, it isn’t quite perfect for me. I’ve struggled myself with finding the perfect planner. Now I’m thinkinking about incorporating some “dot” journal techniques into my happy planner. That is my favorite part about the Happy planner, it is able to be personalized if you have the punch. I like the idea of dot journal’s but I actually like everything in order so the moveable feature of the Happy Planner combined with the dot journal ways, may be my final planner.

    I would really like to start this method. Just like you, the fancy planners always call my name, once I try them, they do not work for me.
    Thank you for the offer

    Wow. This article pretty much sums up my feelings about planners. I have a Pinterest board full of pretty pages for inspiration but I have yet to actually implement any of the ideas. Maybe this book will be the kick in the pants I need.

    I have the same problem with planners. I love so many, but they don’t love me. I’ve tried store-bought planners, dozens from Pinterest, and have even tried creating my own, but am still in search of the perfect planner for me. It’s as bad as dating or trying to find a therapist! This book sounds veeerrry promising…
